I’m a cpa who works with small businesses, so I get a variety of clients in my door. I try to stay away from politics, but there’s one long-term client who knows I’m a Democrat who’s been very vocal about being a Trump supporter. He pays too much in taxes, the Mexicans coming over the border are taking the jobs etc etc etc. The conversation first went south when I mentioned a former foster kid was going to be staying with me on a short-term basis until he can find some government -subsidized housing (there’s a special housing grant program for kids who age out of the system and aren’t adopted). he started to complain about his tax dollars going to that program, and I shut him down pretty quickly. Can you imaging complaining about helping out kids who have no family and no where else to turn????
and then he started in on Obama speaking about race at the recent Dallas service. But I really was at the end of this conversation when he started in on how Trump was going to get assassinated so Hillary wouldn’t get prosecuted, as the 6 year statute of limitations was running out soon, and there have been 49 deaths of people around the Clintons, etc etc. At that point, I was done, stopped the conversation, reminded him I had a mortgage to pay and work to get through, we’d be in touch next week when I had his work ready. I like this guy, need the work, so we’ll continue to work together, but we are not going near politics again!
